What is the best complete suspension setup for a Tmaxx 3.3
Thanks
 
Can you be a little more specific?
Do you mean setup as in adjustments to the suspension like shocks, springs, oils, camber, caster, ride height etc or a specific brand of parts for the suspension?
 
Anything that will improve my suspension from sagging.
 
They sell rebuild kits for them if you dont want to spend the money on better shocks. All I did with mine was took em apart cleaned and re oiled them with a 30 weight silicone based oil. IMO just find some nice big bore shocks and replace the stock ones. Listen to whatever Snookman says he has not led me wrong by no means on anything I've ask on here!
 
Have u read the manaul about the options on mounting holes and what they do by moving them? Beyond that i would buy a couple bottles of shock oil and a few different rate springs and try this and that.And not sure if the 3.3 is the same setup as the 2.5 but u have the shock clips that make ur spring rate higher. Mess around, try it out until u find one that really works good for u. Also depends big time how the truck is driven and what kind of terrain.
 
I dropped mine into the last mount holes and lowered the truck about 2 inches from where it was. Did this durring my tmaxx rebuild session and havnt ran it like this yet. New engine supposed to be in tomorrow so we will see how it rides. Plus the wheels I put on it are much bigger than the ones on it when I bought it(used). I believe they are 3.8 inch

New stiffer shock springs, the stock are 2.4lbs rate & really weak.

40wt~60wt shock fluid &2 or 3 hole pistons, in this you will just have to try them out as what I like you may not.

Ebay is your friend, Traxxas progressives, RCRaven duel rates, RCBoyz, Lunsford, VG Racing, Integy springs(make sure they are for the stock maxx shocks, this is the thing Integy make's I'll ever recommend:) )
